I think I know why Van Gogh cut off his ear!!!

Apr 4, 2011 | A day in my life, Blog, FFF News

I heard (pardon the pun!) about Van Gogh cutting off his ear at quite a young age because my mother was an art teacher, so it’s been many years since I thought about Van Gogh BUT now I think I know why he dunnit!!!

OBVIOUSLY…

he didn’t have a Gertie Gecko Wheat Heat Pack for HIS earache??? : )

Van Gogh Ear story

Of course Van Gogh’s ear troubles couldn’t possibly have been stress-induced due to a website upgrade database crash! – (ha!ha! )

SERIOUSLY though…

the reason why Van Gogh cut off his own ear was because he had issues!!!

AND although this post IS about ear issues… I guess it’s REAL purpose is to explain to everyone what has been going on with me at the Funky Friends Factory this past month. : )

NOW, please don’t think that I HAVE ISSUES when I say that I am sooooo happy because the doc diagnosed acute EAR INFECTION!

Actually I’ve had a ‘headache/neck pain that for about 5 weeks, and have been trying to soak away the pain by having long, hot, baths and so my ears were continuously wet which resulted in an acute ear infection!!! Why did I think of that?

Anyway, I’m absolutely thrilled because I was in soooooooo much pain I was BEGGING my dentist to find a hole to drill… as I thought it was toothache!

Gecko heat pack

It is amazing to be pain free after so many weeks of popping painkillers like sweeties! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahh! I’m one happy chick! : )

HOORAY!!!!

I am so pleased there is some light at the end of the tunnel…
and I’m sure my darling hubby and doggies are too!

So….. I want to let everyone know that the dust is finally settling after the website upgrade –>

After a rather stressful month, I am finally feeling that things are starting to work smoothly… and I am strong enough to tackle my overflowing in box of emails, and will hopefully get up to date with all my unanswered emails this month!!!

I also want to tell you, I’m also DESPERATELY looking forward to getting back into the sewing room–>

I have so many toy pattern ideas buzzing in my head…. it’s hard to sleep!!! : )
